Why Oklahoma City Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofing

Across Oklahoma City, more homeowners are choosing metal roofing solutions, and it’s easy to see why.

With intense summers, sudden storms, and year-round weather shifts, durability matters.

Metal roofs are built to last. In areas like Edmond, Mustang, and The Village, homeowners are seeing 40 to 70 years of lifespan from metal materials—nearly double what asphalt shingles can offer. They also stand up better to hail and high winds, two common issues in the OKC metro.

Energy efficiency is another win. Metal roofs reflect sunlight, helping to reduce attic temperatures and lower monthly energy bills. In neighborhoods like Nichols Hills, where summer heat soars, this benefit makes a big difference.

Some worry about noise from rain or hail, but modern insulation systems eliminate that concern. Proper underlayment ensures a quiet interior, even during the wildest Oklahoma storms.

There’s also growing interest in the eco-friendly side of metal. Many OKC homes are going green, and metal roofing is often made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life.
